I'll set again looks delicious , it's sleep on your lawn for some of that lol
I'm really excited to try the foil boat method !
(Hopefully I get my refund soon and have another smoker by next week , brisket doesn't turn out how I want on my barrel smoker)
A 22" Weber charcoal grill is really all you need.
I've got two 22" Weber charcoal grills (1 stand alone & 1 w/table), a 3 burner Weber propane grill and a Pit Boss vertical pellet smoker. Bought them all off of Craigslist for cheap but the Weber charcoal grill is the only one that I've really used.
Thought about buying a "Pit Barrel" barrel smoker too but I ran out of room and I've got too many grills/smokers that I don't use already.
LOL!!
The stand alone Weber is sitting out of frame to the right. I'd only use it now if I need to use a 2nd grill at the same time but that situation has never come up yet.
I prefer to use the one w/the built-in table because it has a lid holder & a table top to work on. It also has a charcoal bin but I use the trash can to the left to store charcoal, wood chips/blocks & pellets. All of my grilling tools/accessories is in a 3x5 storage bin around the corner to the left.
With all of these grills and the stuff that goes with them I really should BBQ more. Double LOL!

Anyway, if you are going to BBQ a full brisket, I'd suggest you check out ATK's "recipe"
HERE.
They said it took them 2 yrs and 500 lbs of brisket for them to come up with this approach which involves using a charcoal briquette snake in the grill to achieve a constant 275F for 4-5 hours for the initial cook to 170F, the use of the "Texas crutch" (aluminum foil wrap) while cooking for 1-2 hrs more til the brisket reaches 205F (their recommended temp) and then placing the brisket still wrapped in a cooler for another 2-3 hrs until the temp drops to 160F.
The brisket they showed on the relevant episode of the show was pull apart tender and oozing w/juices. There's a video clip of that show embedded in the link provided above. If I ever decide to BBQ a full brisket, this is the approach I'm going to try.
